COLOGNE, Germany -- The sixth annual Eu'Vend show will be held from September 19 through 21, 2013, two weeks later than the customary dates. Eu'Vend again will be held in conjunction with the coffeena international coffee fair, a pairing that proved very successful when it made its debut in 2011.

Eu'Vend's organizers explained that the vending industry and the show's conceptual sponsor, the German vending association BDV (Bundesverband der Deutschen Vending-Automatenwirt­schaft), recommended rescheduling for next year's event because the summer holidays end late in a number of European countries and several German states.

The two trade fairs recorded a substantial increase in visitors in 2011. Around 5,600 trade visitors from 60 countries used the opportunity to gather information, place orders and engage in networking about vending and coffee-related topics. They are administered by Köelnmesse, the Cologne trade fair company established in 1922, and maintain websites at euvend.com and coffeena.biz. Online registration is available.
